NFL Star Tyrann Mathieu Targeted in Relative's $1.5M Extortion Plot

New documents from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, say that Sears asked Mathieu to pay him $1.5 million back in April and eventually asked for $5 million.

Sears, according to an affidavit reviewed by WDSU, is accused of calling and texting Mathieu with threats to leak allegations of sexual misconduct.

During the call, Sears allegedly told Mathieu, who is referred to as TM in court documents, that he needed $1.5 million in his account by that Friday.

Geourvon Keinell Sears, 20, is described in the criminal complaint as "a family member and heretofore a close associate of Victim #1".

"He later texted Matihieu with a demand of "$5 million by Friday, I'm done talking, emailing TMZ now", according to records. Mathieu refused and blocked Sears from being able to contact him by phone. He also provided his bank account information so Mathieu, or his associates, could deposit the money, according to court documents.

White added that Mathieu is dealing with a "private and personal family issue".

The complaint said that Sears threatened to go to media outlets to injure TM's reputation by alleging sexual misconduct by TM if payments weren't made. They told officials they thought he was capable of committing violent acts and feared for their safety.

"He's dealing with a family member who is dealing with a mental health issue", White told WDSU. "They are getting through".

Sears has been released on $25,000 bond, with the next court date set for June 21.
